Austrian authorities have declared that travellers from India, Russia Botswana and Nepal are not required to be quarantined.
After the countries were removed form the virus variant area list, effective yesterday (August 15), such a decision was made. “The following countries are not considered virus variant countries but rather “other”: Botswana. India, Nepal, South Africa, Russia, South Africa and the United Kingdom. According to the Statement of Austria’s Official Travel Portal, fully vaccinated travellers coming from these countries are not required to “self-isolate” anymore.
Before that, non-essential travel to Austria was prohibited for those from these countries. Travellers were not allowed to enter Austria except for medical or business travel.
However, because the rules have changed for the above mentioned countries, they can no longer be required to provide proof of vaccination upon arrival in Austria.
